No I'm not in and I will tell you why.. Remember Myspace? You know that huge social network that was the biggest thing sense sliced bread? Now look at it, it's a ghost town there. I don't even remember the last time I logged onto my Myspace account. Even though Facebook is what's here and now, things like this are only big until the next best thing comes along and that could happen almost overnight. Will it happen? Probably not. Am I willing to gamble on it? Nope.

They've never been able to capitalize on the traffic that they have in any reasonable way. They either alienate their users, or put ads in some god-awful place that doesn't make them any serious cha-chings. So.... no thanks...

I'm not in for a few reasons:

- The best stocks, IMO, are those that are rising stars. Facebook has been twinkling bright for a while now. And hype is inflating share price.

- I don't see how much more improved the model can/will get... that will increase sales and make profit for shareholders.

- As soon as another network with less privacy issues that integrates social media sharing and personalization comes along, Facebook will suffer.

Unless Google and Facebook merge, I'm not interested. And if they did, I'd only be slightly interested.

  I'm out. I feel like Facebook is just about to start on the decline. Seems to be getting a lot of negative press lately and their privacy issues don't help at all. I feel like people are going to abandon Facebook as soon as the next latest, greatest thing comes along.
  
  Thanks

  As I hear it, they need to increase their ad revenue per member by something like a factor of 25 to justify the valuation. It would be interesting to hear how they intend to do that without chasing off half their members and making that a factor of 50...

You forgot a 3rd option - "not at this time, but I might consider buying some stock in the future"

I'd choose that one if it were there.

  Yeah, I apologize for the third option. Not sure how to edit that now.
  
  FB is like other Social Media and I agree it seems to be on the decline.
  
  I am out too.

If you want to make real money quick you needed to get in RIGHT at the publication.

Whenever stocks open up there is a sudden increase and then a downfall back to about the original price.

As I read in an article, the price rose from $38 to $43 then dropped back down to just a little higher than $38. The only problem is that you have to get in right in time. But unfortunately there are millionaires and huge banks who can get in really early and profit from us buying the stocks. So unless you got a real good strategic plan and have been advised by a full time professional, I would not suggest investing in Facebook.

With a value exceeding $100 billion, its trading at more than 100 times it earnings. Facebook is significantly over-valued. Not a smart investment in my opinion.

  Nick,
  
  Yep. They have to bring their earnings per member way up. To do that, they're going to have to come up with new ways to get money from members, like premium memberships, extra services, or other things they'd pay for as individuals.
  
  That's unlikely to cover the gap. They can raise ad rates, but there's only so much room for that, given the way people use Facebook. And they can only increase ad space on the pages by so much before the members start revolting and leaving for another site. Or just visit less.
  
  The real question is, how can they leverage their resources offsite? If they can come up with a viable answer to that question, they could be worth the investment. One way would be a partner program like AdWords, for which they have the beginnings. They could set up contextual ads for sites that don't use the FB login, and more targeted placements for those which do.
  
  That provides an incentive for sites to use the FB login, and could be a huge thing for them, if they can work around their dismal privacy reputation.
  
  It's not a guaranteed loser, but it's certainly going to be an interesting thing to watch.
  
  The one big question in my mind is: How willing are people to accept a single point of contact having that much influence over their online experience and information?
  
  Paul

At $100 billion they're valued higher than McDonalds, Disney, Visa, and a lot of other huge businesses. I just don't see it.

i have been day trading for about a decade now. I shorted the stock today when it hit a little over 41 and started to lose momentum. The underwritters were the main buyers the last couple of hours which created a false demand. I didn't have big enough balls to stick with it in after hours and i covered my shorts late today for a nice profit.

This stock will go a lot further south in the coming months. If you use the same stock valuations to value other companies, apple would be trading over $3,300 per share and google and around $2,100 per share. This is a fad investment.

Facebook is overvalued and its all about the Hype, Once another big thing comes in FB will be another Myspace. Its risky to trade with social network IPO .
